“Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. She had a very nice smile. The food came to our table really fast and everyone liked it. It is not exactly your run of The Mill Italian restaurants. They definitely have a feel of their own. I think my family could go back and have dinner here again. I kind of like to go when I'm not super hungry so I might focus a little bit more on the flavors.“
“Breadsticks are no longer free unlimited for dine in customers. It now costs $1.25, which isn't much, but made me sad. I was excited to try the new stuffed shells, and they were pretty much what I expected. The flavors were really good, with mediocre ingredients and execution. The pasta of the shells was gummy, but everything tasted good enough that it wasn't a big deal, at least for me. Without unlimited breadsticks, I may go to a better Italian restaurant and get properly cooked pasta for the same price. The cheese pizza used to be the only thing our picky kids would eat, but there was almost no cheese on it, and the crust was doughy, so sadly this is no longer on our kid- friendly list, since the only thing she'll eat now are the breadsticks.“
“I usually give chain restaurants 3-stars for consistent mediocrity from restaurant to restaurant. However, this particular OG served up a better-than-mediocre Eggplant Parmasean dish. Crunchy on the outside. Cooked perfectly within. Unusually enjoyable.I was a bit perturbed when the server asked if we'd like marinara sauce with our breadsticks. Meh. Okay. Why not? I'll tell why not. $5.00 for a thimble of (back to mediocre) marinara sauce. A camouflaged upsell!“
“I I love this family owned restaurant conveniently located in Lee’s Summit Mo. They have a wonderful menu and I especially like their calamari, their Veal piccata, lobster ravioli, In anything with their marsala sauce. I’ve enjoyed quite a few meals here and they’ve all been very good. They have good service, They make you feel important and extremely welcoming.I celebrated my birthday with 19 people at Bella’s last night; The owner allowed me to come in early to create the Ambiance I wanted for my friends on my birthday And they put us at a private section where just my party was and even created a gift table. I love this place and I highly recommend that you check out Bella’s Restaurant; you will be amazed!“
“The Italian Stallion sandwich was delicious, as far as quality deli sandwiches go, there isn't much to choose from in the area and I am thankful for this place. My go-to place in downtown Lees Summit was closed today and this place delivered what I was craving, literally and metaphorically speaking. Wasn't too expensive, and free delivery within 10 miles of the store if you order through the website, is a plus. Sure beats all those doordash fees and charges. My girlfriend got the two slice and a drink deal and the pizza was great! Huge New York style slices. Safe to say I will be ordering again, trying the other sandwich options and the other pizza options. Looks like they do more than just pizzas and sandwiches on their website, super excited to try those items as well. Specialty items for Superbowl Sunday too?? Might be ordering again sooner than I thought. Go Chiefs!“
“First time diner 2 weeks ago and have returned twice since then. Staff was friendly, with the chef even coming out and addressing the guests. Along with that, I have tried several menu items, and none of them disappoint. If you are in the area, it is a must try.“
“Fazoli's is like a fast food version of Olive Garden. It tastes great but still a bit expensive. Unlimited bread sticks while you are there and their cheese cakes are amazing. Easy way to feed the whole family and still have some food left over.“
“First time at this chain and was definitely impressed with the pasta. We did have to ask for more sauce as it came out much dryer than we prefer and they took their time getting us the extra sauce. There was also a very long wait to get seated for just 3 people as they didn't have enough staff. Would still prefer here over OG.“

“Wow! What a find. Only open on Thurs/Fri/Sat but holy cow/yum! I got the special app-lemon ricotta honey goat cheese bruschetta and the scallops with mashed potatoes and asparagus. My husband got the meatballs and red sauce with pasta. Both were absolutely phenomenal.We also had craft cocktails/the limoncello martini was inane. Go!“
“Very good salad and pizza combo. Service was helpful and friendly on today's lunchtime visit. I recommend the chicken cob salad. Lunch for two $22.02.08.24 Update, pizza and salad still excellent. Service was great as well. Lunch for two went up to 28.“
“I would just like to say my experience at the Olive Garden in Lees Summit was exceptional good. The service was excellent, the food was devine. I can say that it was an all around good experience. I wish I could remember my servers name she was so polite and attentive to me and my parties needs. I just would like to say thanks to all who took part in making our eating experience a very good one. I appreciate you guys going the extra mile. Thanks to all who successfully made our visit a joyful one.“
“Sal's original pizza is in the Independence Center mall and for a pizza place in a mall this place is great! I've had the pizza, salads and Stromboli everything was great! The pizza is a New York style pizza. Today I tried the Sicilian slice, excellent! Previously I've had their Greek salad, also excellent. The staff are respectful and the store front is clean. I recommend Sal's Pizza, it is located in the food court on the bottom level.“
“My husband and I decided to stop for an early dinner at Cafe Verona after touring the Truman Presidential Library and had the most fantastic meal. The restaurant is beautiful, clean, and lined with amazing art. The staff and our waitress were friendly. The highlight was the food. Ever since moving to the Midwest, I felt that the Italian cuisine options were pretty abysmal; however, Cafe Verona’s plates were divine. Everything from the hummus, to the Cesar salad, to the pasta, to the tiramisu was absolutely perfect. Plus, for everything we got, the bill was surprisingly fair - we spent far less than expected, I HIGHLY recommend stopping in.“
“Hard to beat dependable Olive Garden when you need good food. You can adapt it to your budget as well. I know it's not a fancy restaurant, but when we go there we have a good meal, some good laughs...and I don't regret the $$$ I spent.“
“The food was sufficient however the women's restroom was taken for most of the time we were there by an employee, had to use the men's just to wash my hands. All of the Parm shakers were being used or empty but other than those two things it was fine.“
“This is by far my favorite pizza in the world. Honestly, in my opinion it is better NY style pizza in Blue Springs, MO than I've had in NYC. One slice of cheese is the best tasting cheese pizza I've ever had with crust that is consistently on point. My brother, wife, and kids all agree. My other favorite order is two slices of combination. I wish I lived and worked closer but whenever I'm near by, I'll try to stop in. If you like good NY style pizza, you'll love Original Pizza in Blue Springs, MO. Can't recommend this local, no frills, family owned and operated business enough.“
